The Galesburg Civic Art Center was saddened to learn of the death of Kathy Budd, a Studios Midwest Alum from 2004. Most would remember Kathy as creating metal and bee's wax sculpture at Carl Sandburg College. A link to a remembrance of Kathy by her students is here: http://www.oswegonian.com/news/remembering-kathy-budd-1.1961597

Today I'm heading back to Massachusetts where I'm finishing up my Masters. It's been a great summer here in Galesburg. The opening went really well, thank you to everyone who came out.

I will be posting more documentation next week on my website, http://michelledickson.com . So you can check that out for more pictures of the installation I did for Studios Midwest as well as other work.

Thanks for a great summer!

digital print for gcac

This is the digital print that I will be donating to the Art Center for auction at their Wicked Disco event.

The installation is progressing well. Last night Mark Holmes gave a great lecture on his work at The Box, but now that the lecture date has past I can take over the entire gallery. I'm pretty excited about that. 10 days until it opens!

So I thought I'd post some pictures of the 2D work I've been doing while taking a break from working on the installation.

Open Studio Tomorrow!

Tomorrow There will be an Open Studio in the Box Gallery from 5-8pm. You can come by and see what I've been up to for the last month.



Since I've been installing in the gallery for the past couple of weeks it's going to be more of like a preview for the show.

Hope to see you all there!

pictures of the studio

Here are some pictures from the first week of the residency. I jumped right in and started working on a sculpture and began experimenting with a few new materials as well. Things have been progressing pretty rapidly since then, I'll post some new pictures with my next update.
